A MAN from Monkton has admitted harassing a woman but has been remanded in custody while two more serious charges are considered by the court.
Gareth Richards, aged 43, of Church Terrace, appeared at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court on Monday (June 16) where he pleaded guilty to harassment without violence. The charge relates to repeated messages, emails and phone calls to Zoe Richards between June 4 and June 15.
He faces two additional charges: intentional strangulation, alleged to have taken place in April 2024, and criminal damage to a vase, globe and TV at a property in Haverfordwest on June 7.
Richards was remanded in custody.
The court cited the risk of reoffending, the nature of the charges, and concerns over witness interference.
The case was adjourned for mention on June 23 and again for trial and sentencing on August 4 at Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court. His custody time limit expires on August 11.
